Alignment gurus, please chime in

I drive my car relatively agressive and in soem situation when I change lane as the boost kicks in, I almost feels like losing the car for a quick sec before gaining control. In addition, my car has a floaty feeling to thh front when I hit a slight curve at a speed rate of 70 mph, this is much more obvious as gas it.

I recently had my alignment done and wonder if adjustment to any of the following can help me to improve the handling or at least mnimize the floaty feeling.

Front Camber Left = - 0.17
Right = - 0.23
Front Toe Left = 0.03
Right = 0.02

Rear Camber Left = - 2.02
Right = - 1.59
Rear Toe Left = 0.10
Right = 0.11

Any ideas? Thanks in advance for helping out.

No expert, but... Rear camber looks high in relation to the front. The specified camber range for rear is -1.7 ~ -1.2. Not to mention, I would think they could get left & right camber closer to each other.

Found this spec sheet from Dan's post. Dan's car has more front camber than yours. Post out the other spec. numbers and we will have better idea.

You want more negative camber in the front if you want to stick
the front in corners. You want zero toe in the front and a little
toe-in in the rear.
As Stevo asks, are you on stock suspension? Much ugliness can
come from poorly installed suspension parts (needing a corner balance).
